Well that pretty much sums it up. The main complaint I have with the Hellas is the low-beam / high-beam compromise that results in the low-beams pointing downward too much. This creates a glaring bright pool of light in front of the car, and then inky blackness beyond. This problem is shared...

I prefer Cibie to Hella. http://www.danielsternlighting.com/products/products.html

LOL at this thread. No trigger signal, well actually those aren't triggers those are addresses to select which coil to fire. IGt triggers the ignitor. 1) How do you know IGDA and IGDB are bad? Did you use a scope. You won't see much using a DVM. 2) Did you scope IGDA/B at the ECU...

It runs like a champ, but needs a blue-black wire to be grounded to get the injectors to fire. Something smells fishy... upbeatfishy.

Looks alot like the early Mines ECUs. I've had some success communicating to the ECU using the Reader board at 1MHz over a USB-UART chip. Still fighting some glitches but I can get data back and forth. Getting close to being able to suck out real time data from our ECUs.

Those are all 4 inch speakers with customizable mount tabs. The cones are smaller than the factory speaker and will leave a gap around the edge of the box. I was able to get a so-called 4T to fit by making an adapter plate to increase the frame size. Plug and play they are not.

Thanks Gary. The week before the test I made a trip down to San Diego, 5 hours down and 3 hours up, so I figured the volatiles would have boiled out. The oil has about 2k miles on it as well. I did no special prep for this test, so hopefully your suggestions will help next time.

Umm, the rears are not 5.25, they are 4T, or roughly 4.5". No one seems to make this size. 5.25 might fit with some tweaking of the box, but they definitely don't fit into the flange recess where the stockers live.

Found an error in my 2009 data, so the AFRs aren't as bad as I had plotted before. No NDIR analyzer I can take home unfortunately. One of these days I should drop by your house, as the inlaws are in Arcadia, and I could use an excuse to get away! :biglaugh:

Well, I bought mine new! It was there from the start. If you read this Car & Driver review, you will note that they complain about the "noticeable loss of stiffness when the body's keystone is removed." http://www.supramania.com/images/hosted/nickm/Car%20and%20Driver%20Supra%2086.5%204.jpg

Smog test today. Had to pay an extra $20 to cover the new LPFET test, grrr. I've been tracking my emissions over the years, and HC has been creeping up. Today I passed the 15mph test at 104ppm with the limit at 106ppm. A/F has been creeping down as well, and is at 14.68 today. Original cat...

I pm'd him the lockout code for his radio. Details for entering it can be found here. http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?t=51211 For anyone else in the same boat, I have the codes for a lot of these old Toyota radios so send me a PM and I'll check.

Aside from the fact that its three channel, it is otherwise a very competent implementation of ABS. What it lacks relative to a more modern system is electronic brake-force distribution, brake assist, and vehicle stability control and traction control.

That should make for a nice display. Does it comes with the transreflective compensator? I see that the 629GL comes with one from some vendors.

Actually, the power for the injectors comes directly from the ignition switch (IG2 circuit). Depending on whether they are low resistance or high resistance injectors (depends on model and year), it will go through an injector resistor bank before it reaches the injector connector.

Both those antennas are FM. The factory radio has a diversity system, it selects the antenna with the best reception at any given time. If you live in the city, the window antenna is often good enough. The under-seat amp wiring connects to the chassis harness at the HU, then goes to the amp...

Can you say what display you've selected, and where its going to be mounted?

Modern cars :icon_bigg with drive-by-wire limit throttle opening and lower the rev limiter when cold. Ours cars do not.

Code 14 is an ignition problem. Can't see how the fuel rail could do anything. I would make sure the ignitor is well grounded (remove it and clean the mounting pieces of any corrosion or do the ignitor ground mod). Also check the wiring harness for any broken/hanging by a thread/intermittent...
